Deuteronomy 22:17 in Context — Deuteronomy 22

15 alors le père et la mère de la jeune femme prendront les signes de sa virginité et les produiront devant les anciens de la ville, à la porte.

16 Le père de la jeune femme dira aux anciens: J’ai donné ma fille pour femme à cet homme, et il l’a prise en aversion;

17 il lui impute des choses criminelles, en disant: Je n’ai pas trouvé ta fille vierge. Or voici les signes de virginité de ma fille. Et ils déploieront son vêtement devant les anciens de la ville.

18 Les anciens de la ville saisiront alors cet homme et le châtieront;

19 et, parce qu’il a porté atteinte à la réputation d’une vierge d’Israël, ils le condamneront à une amende de cent sicles d’argent, qu’ils donneront au père de la jeune femme. Elle restera sa femme, et il ne pourra pas la renvoyer, tant qu’il vivra.
